The smart children will figure it out if they haven't already, and then go and tell the less acute children how to do it properly, without an app and account. Then we're back to basics of domains and ports instead of apps and accounts.
I've had times where I aborted an operation that was obviously not working. Eventually out of ideas, I waited out the 1,163 seconds and it completed normally.
Yeah. I bet in practice the liquid helium used to cool the trap is more dangerous than the actual antimater. It can cause cryogenic burns similar to frostbite, and if it suddenly boils off in a confined space (like inside a container or the back of a truck) it can displace oxygen and cause inert gas asphyxiation.
Of course both of these can be managed easily with appropriate procedures.
It is a bit like getting injured by pinching your hand in the hinge of the Velociraptor container in Jurrassic park. Not the first danger you would think of, but still present.

Back in the 1990’s when I moved away from the UK they had the opposite service. You send an email and the Royal Mail sends it as a letter. I forget the name of the service but it was a good way to “email” someone before everyone had email. I still think it’d be nice to have today.
I was working in London in 1994 and remember visiting for the cultural experience but work provided a Sparc machine and ISDN at home as I was on call and it felt like slumming it to go to a cafe with a shared internet connection and PCs!
If you’re interested in the backstory of how these sounds were originally made, a recent episode (417) of The Retro Hour podcast has an interview with Sam Dicker who worked at Williams on Defender and Sinistar (and then on the Amiga) which is well worth listening to.
